Human senses
Health & beauty
The face as a landscape to explore oneself, a canvas for imaginative decoration. Make up inspired by filters. Adding a layer to change identity. Make up used as masks, a digital camouflage to trigger AI.
Layers of gloss, inspired by filters. RGB glitching and moving colours. Airbrush effects and gradients. Playing with the way in which the body is received by the machine; playing with perspectives and volumes.
The skin can convey physical and sensual feelings for example the perceived smell of skin, how can the senses be enhanced in the digital world.

Food
Understanding human senses and taste, to play with perceptions. Create new impulses by combining various sensory stimuli. Visual disconnect, your brain surprising your sense of taste.
Vegetable proteins with the structure of meat or production on demand.
New expressions for the structure, production and culture of food.
AI technology and machine learning can help consumers with daily food choices.
Nutritional information on any recipe or an ingredient list that can be provided in real time.
Ai will speed up manufacturing and the creation of food with perfect consistency.
Use AI to better understand the dynamics of flavour and to explore flavour territories.

Women’s clothing
Clothes are transformed into a interactive medium, capable of processing, receiving, and transmitting images and information.
Styles are inspired by skins, one piece knitted bodysuits, 3-D printed garments with no seams. Mono suit, mono colour.
Animated sampling, virtual collections to wear in the digital domain. Computer generated fashion, 3D renderings that have a genuine textile feel.
Making an appearance, stand out from the crowd. Bright colours and shiny, reflective materials.
Fluid patterns. Layered moving materials. Colours that seem wet and liquid.
Hide, block, be invisible. Blocking materials, to dissolve into the background.

Men’s clothing
2D silhouettes that are blown up into a 3D form, to play with the transformation of 2D and 3D.
Morphed patterns. and fluid lines. Nothing is straight, everything flows and moves. Projection patterns, light effects.
Colour changing effects and blurred graphics. Reactive materials that change their appearance.
Gaming inspired colour blocking, all colours have a function and provoke a reaction. Dark outfits to hide.
Coated materials. Gloss and rubber.
Inflatable garments. Changing shapes and volumes. Sealing technique that ensures an airtight shape and gives strength to the form.
Shiny sportswear in light materials. An airy look with wide sleeves and big hoods.

Living
People live more of their lives in digital communities. Rendered rooms and objects that you can adjust and personalise. Multi-sensory objects and interiors.
The home will be transformed into a platform for digital content. Three-dimensional interfaces will interlace with the domestic space. This will open the home to new design forces, transforming many domestic rituals, and change the meaning of privacy and ownership.
Virtual objects, layers and effects will be part of the home, like today’s furniture is.
Glitch furniture for accidental shapes.
Grids and pixels as inspiration. Weird 3D perspectives, creating depth and interesting angles.
Pet-focused playful designs.

Architecture
Architecture inspired by gaming landscapes with hit points in a building. Games that overlap with the real world, architecture becomes representative with rewards. Notification as you enter a building which can trigger reactions.
Architecture to lose yourself in. When games perfectly overlap the real world, what will this resemble?
Visual viewpoint changes, view from above, drone view, 3d view.
Chaos, random lines. Buildings with abstract exteriors and colourful internal worlds.
Colour and light effects.
Minimal, warm bright spaces that are easy to navigate with wearables. Robots meant to facilitate gaming.

Technology
Texture-changing skins, combining haptic and visual modalities that can enhance the expressive spectrum of robots for social interaction.
Multiple screens and projections for more dynamic digital worlds, screens and devices become part of the experience. You can totally lose yourself in VR/AR experiences, lose yourself in the hardwear.
Audio AR, blurring the lines between sound and vision via augmented reality. Advances in smart glasses.
Phones are turned into game pieces. Earning points though gaming and in the real world. Taking one step in the real world, counts for one step in the virtual world.

Mobility
AI changes how cars are built. AI-guided robots are making car manufacturing safer, more efficient and cost effective.
Ai for predictive maintainance and for traffic forecasting.
Voice commands and hand gestures for controlling the entertainment in the car.
Speed and entertainment make distances disappear.
Light weight materials. Automated mood, experience and light adjustments.
Self driving bicycles.
Shipping containers on wheels that grow and shrink in size depending on specific tasks.
